Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of ecological environment protection, and specifically relates to a method for calculating the carbon emission intensity of a sewage pipe network based on anaerobic reaction theory. Technical Background

[0002] The drainage network collects sewage and transports it to the sewage treatment plant through drainage pumping stations and deep underground drainage pipes to remove pollutants and prevent the city from being harmed by pathogens and pollutants in sewage. However, with the development of urbanization, direct carbon emissions caused by sewage networks have gradually become an urban environmental problem that cannot be ignored. As the country vigorously promotes the pollution control measures of "reducing pollution and carbon emissions, and synergizing and increasing efficiency", sewage collection and treatment systems have gradually been included in the key links of carbon reduction plans. The CO generated by sewage networks 2 and CH 4 It is one of the carbon reduction targets of the environmental protection department. However, the existing methods cannot well calculate the direct carbon emission intensity of the sewage network.

[0003] Overview of existing carbon emission intensity calculation methods: 1. Emission factor method: This method mainly estimates the total amount of pollutants based on the population, formulates carbon emission factors in different fields, and then calculates carbon emission intensity. For example, the invention patent with announcement number CN116628410A discloses a method for calculating the carbon emission intensity of a regional power system. This method can use the carbon emission factor to calculate the total carbon emissions and carbon emission intensity generated by the electricity in the target area. 2. Actual measurement method: It mainly uses on-site CO 2 and CH 4 The data is collected and offline or online concentration analysis is performed to calculate the carbon emission intensity. For example, the invention patent with the announcement number CN116519876A discloses a method, device, equipment and storage medium for monitoring the carbon emission intensity of a thermal power unit. The method can use the baseline oxygen concentration data, the historical operation data of the unit and the current operation data of the unit to calculate the historical carbon emission intensity data of the unit and the current carbon emission intensity data of the unit.

[0004] The above existing accounting methods are still insufficient for studying the carbon emission intensity of sewage pipe networks: 1. The hydraulic and water quality elements in the sewage pipe network are complex and diverse. It is difficult to formulate emission factors under different boundary conditions when using the emission factor method to calculate the carbon emission intensity of the sewage pipe network. 2. The sewage pipe network is deeply buried underground and spread all over the city. If the actual measurement method is used to calculate the carbon emission intensity of the sewage pipe network, it is necessary to use a gas monitoring device to measure the CO in the pipeline. 2 and CH 4 The concentration is measured over a long period of time, which consumes a lot of manpower and material resources. In addition, the sewage pipe network exchanges gas with the outside air through the inspection well, and it is difficult to accurately measure the carbon emission intensity using conventional gas monitoring devices. Summary of the invention

[0005] 1. Problem to be solved

[0006] In view of the problem that the emission factor method and the actual measurement method are difficult to calculate the carbon emission intensity of the sewage network, the present invention adopts the material balance method and, based on the anaerobic reaction theory, proposes a method with strong applicability that can accurately calculate the carbon emission intensity of the sewage network.

[0007] 2. Technical solution

[0008] In order to solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] S1: Determine the biochemical reaction process of organic matter in the sewage pipe;

[0010] S2: Calculate the carbon emission intensity of water bodies by chemical reaction equation;

[0011] S3: Experimentally determine the water quality and key parameters required for calculation;

[0012] S4: Calculate sediment carbon emission intensity using the anaerobic endogenous respiration reaction equation;

[0013] S5: Laboratory simulation experiments to determine the key parameters of the sediment endogenous model;

[0014] S6: Calculate the overall carbon emission intensity of the pipeline network based on the anaerobic reaction process.

[0015] Preferably, the step S1 specifically includes: determining the pollutant components in the sewage pipe, mainly including the content of sugar, protein and oil pollutants, and their chemical formulas, and determining the biochemical reaction process of the sewage pipe in the area according to the chemical formula.

[0016] Preferably, the step S2 is specifically as follows: anaerobic reaction of sewage refers to the process of decomposing various complex organic substances in sewage into substances such as methane and carbon dioxide by anaerobic microorganisms (including facultative anaerobic microorganisms) under the condition of no molecular oxygen. Some organic substances in sewage participate in anaerobic reaction to generate methane, and some organic substances are used for the growth of microorganisms themselves. n H a O b N c )The general chemical reaction formula of the anaerobic reaction process can be expressed as

[0017]

[0018] The symbols and values ​​in brackets in the above formula are the equilibrium coefficients of the reaction.

[0019] Where: d = 4n + a-2b-3c;

[0020] s—part of the organic matter converted into microorganisms;

[0021] e—Part of the organic matter converted into methane.

[0022] Theoretically, s+e=1. The s value varies with the organic matter composition, microbial community structure and metabolic activity. The specific value can be determined based on laboratory simulation experiments or estimated based on the following formula:

[0023] s=0.2a e

[0024] Where: 0.2—microorganism non-degradable coefficient;

[0025] a e —The maximum coefficient of conversion of organic matter into microbial microorganisms.

[0026] Anaerobic reactions of several pollutants e The values ​​(ratios based on COD) are shown in Table 1.

By organic matter (C n H a O b N c ) relative molecular weight, converted into the amount of substance N = Δm / (12n+a+16b+14c), which can be calculated from the balance coefficient of the chemical reaction equation. The CO produced by the anaerobic reaction of organic matter in the water body 2 The emission intensity is N·44·(nc-sd / 5-ed / 8), CH 4 The emission intensity is N·16·ed / 8.

[0030] Preferably, the step S3 is specifically as follows: if the carbon emission intensity generated during the hydrolysis of organic matter in the sewage network is to be calculated, the total organic carbon concentration and organic matter (C n Ha O b N c ) concentration and the total organic carbon concentration conversion coefficient, the present invention adopts an experimental method to accurately measure the numerical values ​​of the two boundary conditions.

[0031] Total organic carbon concentration (TOC) and organic matter (C n H a O b N c ) Experimental method for conversion coefficient (S): Total organic carbon concentration is measured according to the method in "Water and Wastewater Monitoring and Analysis Methods" (4th edition), organic matter (C n H a O b N c ) The conversion coefficient (S) can be obtained by first using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to measure the content of three major categories of substances: carbohydrates, proteins, and fatty acids, and then dividing the total content of the three major categories of substances by the total organic carbon concentration.

[0032] The experimental method for the proportion of organic matter converted into microorganisms (s) is as follows: put the bottom mud and water sample from the sewage network into a closed container, and measure the CH above the container after each reaction period. 4 and CO 2 Content, waiting for CH 4 and CO 2 The content is stable. The total carbon content in the exhaust gas is compared with the total organic carbon content in the water sample to obtain the proportion of organic matter converted into methane (e). 1 minus e can be used to obtain the proportion of organic matter converted into microorganisms (s).

[0033] Preferably, the step S4 is specifically as follows: anaerobic reaction in the sewage pipe network will cause hydrolysis of organic matter and degradation of microorganisms to produce carbon dioxide and methane. The above chemical reaction formula reflects the hydrolysis of organic matter on the one hand, and the degradation of microorganisms (C 5 H 7 O 2 N) is produced. Microorganisms will produce CH through endogenous respiration. 4 and CO 2 , the general formula of endogenous respiratory reaction of microorganisms can be expressed as

[0034]

[0035] M 降解 =HRT×MLVSS×K 0

[0036] Where: M 降解 — Endogenous respiratory degradation microorganisms (C 5 H 7 O 2N) mass, mg / L;

[0037] HRT—hydraulic retention time, d;

[0038] MLVSS—mixed liquor volatile suspended solids concentration, mg / L;

[0039] K 0 —Anaerobic endogenous respiration attenuation coefficient, d -1 .

[0041] Preferably, step S5 is specifically as follows: if the carbon emission intensity generated in the process of endogenous respiration of organic matter by microorganisms in the sewage pipe network is to be calculated, the volatile suspended solids concentration MLVSS of the mixed liquor and the anaerobic endogenous respiration attenuation coefficient K 0 Two key parameters, the present invention explores the method of laboratory simulation experiment to accurately measure the values ​​of the two key parameters under different conditions.

[0042] The experimental method for mixed liquor volatile suspended solids concentration (MLVSS) is as follows: the organic matter in the sediment sample is oxidized into water and carbon dioxide by high temperature combustion, and then the weight of the residual material is weighed. The MLVSS is obtained by subtracting the ash mass from the mass before combustion and dividing it by the volume.
